" WIDOWS AT FIVE (Continued Irom Page Three ) anccs, and ot wearisome attendance at religious functions. Though the English law would recognize the legality of .rc-marriage, inexorable custom forbids it, and its occurrence is rare. There were, in 1901, nearly 126,000 widows under 15 years of age, of whom nearly 20,000 were less than live years old. Whence can we expect the remedy for this terrible state of affairs, this mass of human misery? Sirdar Arjun Sing advocated a mild measure of more or less permissive legislation,' and quoted the example set by thc 'great Hindoo States " of Mysore and Baroda-- To other Indian speakers it appeared, as itm.sl appear to Englishmen who know India, that such a course was un practicable for a government in thc position of ours. Absolute neutrality in respect of religious customs'has always been, and must -ai_ ways he. the policy ot the IVritish government in India, save only wh:n such customs as in tho case of "salt" are opposed to essential* princi- ials of Western criminal law. That was the principle which guided .the government in refusing to accept ������er ci in proposals for legislation on this subject in 1W, and also warr mted the passage of the1 Age of Consent ���������Vet in 1801. That Act" was valuable in'preventing actual marriage, in the European sense,' irom taking place before a girl reaches the age of 12. There is nothing to prevent early betrothals, Reform - in that respect must, as--the government said, be left to "the gradual operation of the mental and moral development of the people by the spread ot education." To. that remedy alone the Indian speakers at the recent Mieet- ing looked with hope. It was pointed out Hint female education must play the most important part, and that the education of men was pow- cilis.s wil hint it to complete there- form. In domestic affairs female influence is as powerful in the East as in thc West, and .until education turns H in the direction of marriage reform' it must remain an almost irresistible obstacle to thc bettei-in- fotiiiod ���������.iews of the male members of thc family, "lhe impulse must be iii veil by the people themselves. Some progress has been made in the education of men; very little '.n't at of woment Hope of gradually eiadi- cating a custom so deleterious as that of early marriage must rest on ther. appreciation by men of the benefits'.of the education they, receive and of ths desirability of extending it <p women. .-' ' .''.. ���������;" Sample Goods WE HAVE RECEIVED A CONSIGNMENT OF' SAMPLES IN DRYGOODS WHICH WE OFFER PO OUR CUSTOMERS AT 25 PER CENT.
